Garran is a Chieftan that puts his people first so it was no wonder how quickly he caved after his people got fed of some cooked fish and managed to convince him. We didn’t even have to pull the courting card which made Panara quite unhappy.

The journey home was uneventful, to say the least but when we set up camp for the 40 odd people I decided to see what my ability would look like if I use it outside of my territory.

A swoosh later, the map unfolds like a start to a Disney film, only lacks the harmonic narration. This time instead of focusing on my capital Halamar, it zoomed into me. So, it is always based on myself, won't be getting any complications if I'm far away.

My territory was glowing green like it did last time, looking at our distance we are a little less than halfway home, the extra luggage slowed us down and we left during the day. All in all, we are actually traveling quite fast.

I look at all of the revealed areas that we passed through. Pretty bland and mostly ocean but I do see some icons with question marks along the way. Unidentified oddities huh. Eventually, we will expand but right now they are far from each other and are too far away from Halamar. Two are in close proximity and are maybe a half a day of travel from Halamar.

I quit looking at the map. It rolls up and I'm back. It’s still night. I get up slowly to not disturb Panara sleeping beside me. She is acting like a kitten, cuddling up beside me trying to find my body. I did promise her a night of everlasting passion and I can see how she is smirking in her sleep. Bloody loon I tell ya, dreaming about us!

Whatever. I walk towards the Inferno Stalk and usher away some Mrentoni to sleep as I take my nights to watch. Although I have succeeded in convincing the Opperen tribe into joining us, where do I go next? The other tribes are honestly too far away and one of them is the Burna tribe which hold honor less Mrentoni.

I sit still in contemplation. Honestly, I have nothing left to do other than let time moves on and keep leading my people. I should also tell Panara what happens if she marries me. Would she want eternal life? Do I want eternal life?

Well yes, I did agree to be Moruna’s Champion and she already told me about The Eternity Games. Say, it’s a game that they play, but aren't I the one playing? She needs to spill some beans soon; this whole thing is way too shrouded in mist.

Then again, how would I tell my people that I am immortal and that Panara would be too? This is a mess that is unhealthy for me.

I slap my face a few times.

That is something I will worry about later.

Maybe I should get a hobby? Go become an uber-scientist and power through the technological ages, improving everything about us! Someday, I am immortal now. Although thinking about it too deeply makes me shudder.

Immortality seems like it would be fun but at which point do I start to think about ending it all? Well, Moruna did say Panara would be with me but thinking about it, wouldn’t she also go insane at some point?

I slap myself a few times more.

Once more for good measure.

“Why are you slapping yourself like that Gherman?” I hear a voice beside me. Turning around I see Garran.

“Well Garran, I'm thinking, there is always things to foresee and things to find solutions to, sometimes my mind wanders to somewhere dark and deep. A few good slaps help me calm my mind and get back on track.”

He sits down beside me. “Go on get some rest, I'll take over for now.”

“I don’t feel like it yet and I still need to figure some things out,” I say.

We sit in silence for a while. Occasionally glancing at each other. Garran wants to say something but doesn’t commit.

“Come on Garran, say it if you have too.”

He clears his throat. “Gherman, you claimed to need manpower but why so? You are clearly a new addition to the Gornag Tribe but where are you rushing too?”

“Well Garran, it’s complicated, I won't say now why I'm rushing, next time when we will hold a meeting between some of my people which will naturally include you, I will reveal it. However, I need manpower for Halamar to grow. We have many things around Halamar that need exploiting. We were naturally spread quite thin around the territory with groups of us having different roles. Having more people will bring protection and extra productivity.”

“Won't that grow in time though? I guess that’s why you are rushing it, fine I will be patient.”

He drops the issue. I stand up say goodnight and move back to Panara, getting some rest.

The next morning also went without a hitch, the Big Bertha was almost fully eaten but we were close to Halamar at that point. The relatively slow swim was refreshing, to say the least. A calm before the storm so to say.

Arriving in Halamar went smoothly and the Gornag tribe after I told them about the mission, openly accepted the Opperen tribe and got them sorted.

“Meeting in the Chieftan's house right now!” I call out.

Meena, Zarhan, Panara, Stalra, and Garran all perk up and follow me into the Chieftan's house.

Standing at the meeting table I begin. “Alright everyone there is something important I need to tell you in this meeting, also we will discuss how we should introduce the Opperen tribe to our ways. Everything said here is confidential and yadda yadda yadda.”

They all nod.

“So then, I'll start with the most important part. Please, when I say this don’t freak out and please stay calm about this.” I gather my courage, me telling them that I am immortal might backfire but I have to do it now.

“I am Immortal.”

Silence. Only the sounds of gulping are spread throughout the meeting place.

Panara herself is tearing up, she stomps her feet on the wooden planks and jumps off from the balcony and swims away. She truly cares for me, I need to find her after the meeting.

Zarhan Garran and Stalra have their mouths wide open, their jaws almost hitting the ground. Garran is the first to come back to his senses and murmurs. “So that’s why you are rushing, he is immortal but needs cover to hide his immortality. No. Why did he tell us then?”

Zarhan and Stalra sit down on some chairs and just stare at me without saying anything.

Meena has the best reaction yet. She didn’t seem too shocked and is rather smugly grinning at me.

“Why are you grinning like that kin Meena?”

“I guessed right of course! If he is sent by a goddess to lead our people to greatness, a few generations of leading won't get him too far, I guessed he would be long living or even immortal and it seemed I was right.”

No wonder she is my science division leader, she has a good head on her shoulders. I say. “You people continue with the meeting, Zarhan tells me later what you have decided, I need to find Panara.”

He nods while maintaining his shocked look.

I jump out and look around for any witnesses. I see Delka walking somewhere alone. Swimming up to her I ask. “Have you seen Panara swim by?”

She nods and points towards the direction of the Inferno Stalks. “What did you do to her? She was crying the whole way!”

“Don’t worry, she will be fine when I find her, nothing serious.”

I swim towards the Inferno Stalks plantation.

There I see the small house built for the people working there but Panara isn’t in sight. Swimming up to one of the workers and asking him if he saw her lead me to a small hill behind the plantation where I saw her sitting, curling her legs up and sniffling.

She is polar or something, muscle-head one moment and a teenage girl crying herself out the next.

I swim behind her and hug her. “Don’t cry Panara.” I try to comfort her.

“What do you mean don’t cry! *sniff* You said you are *sniff* immortal, how would I live knowing you would live longer without me?” *sniff*

“Silly girl, I was going to tell you something else but you swam away like a heartbroken little girl. Listen up Panara, my wife would also become Immortal.

She perks up and hits my nose with her head by accident. “Ow.”

She tackles me with a hug and we roll down the hill, further away from the Inferno Stalks.

“REALLY? OH YES OH YES OH YES OH YES OH YES OH YES!!!!” She squeezes me as if to not let me go.

I knock her on the head. “Calm down you bloody loon!”

That knock made her loosen her grip on me and we just lay there on the solid rock hugging each other.

“So, do you wanna do my promise here or back at home?”

She has a moment of realization. She totally forgot about it, didn’t she? She stands up, pulling me up with her, takes her hands and places them on my cheeks.

With a weird sudden seductive tone, she says. “Take me here my Champion.”

“With pleasure,” I answer we kiss passionately. Coiling our tongues and rubbing them.

I take the initiative and take my hand up to her breasts, pinching the nipple with the ends of my fingers. She lets a moan escape.

I take it a step further and start massaging, up and down, left and right, switching to the other breast. The kiss is now getting intense, we can breathe because we have gills so this kiss cannot be stopped unless we let it.

I push her down towards the ground and stop the kiss. Undressing her top, I begin to suck on her nipples while caressing her abs. Her moaning becomes louder, my skills in foreplay are blowing her mind.

But wait, there’s more.

I undress her bottom, revealing her vagina, without any hair obstructing the view I can’t help but give a mental thumbs up to her pussy. I move closer and start licking it, nice and slow, trying to elongate the contact between my tongue and her clit to give her more pleasure.

She continues moaning and manages to ask. “Did you learn this back on Earth? I never knew sex can be this amazing!”

I stop licking and chuckle. “You haven't seen everything yet.” Since I'm taking liberties with the foreplay and have the initiative, I will forgo her giving me and jobs for now. I’m raging hard already and I think she is getting impatient too.

I strip and present her with my cock. Her eyes widen at the size of it. Now I don’t know what the normal size is for Mrentoni, but it seems Moruna gave me quite the package.

“Stand up and face the wall,” I command, she jumps up and faces the wall.

“Now show me your ass,” I command once again. She complies and turns to face me while shoving her butt towards me.

“Like this honey?” She says seductively again. She is a keeper, how does she do it, switching personalities with a snap of a finger? Whatever.

I position my cock on her entrance and ask. “You ready Panara?”

She almost screams out with pleasure. “TAKE ME GHERMAN, PLEASE!”

I push in slowly. Virgins first time should be always done slowly. Breaking the membrane, I take her virginity as I shove my cock up her pussy. She squeals a loud moan when I'm almost fully in. I commit and shove the rest of my penis inside, now I'm balls deep and I feel her womb on the tip of my cock.

I pause. “Are you ready Pumpkin?”

She is breathing heavily, a smile plastered on her face. “Go on!”

I start pistoning. With my experience on Earth, I try to find her G-spot. Found it.

Positioning myself slightly lower to reach the upper parts of her insides I start rubbing it with full force. She cums right there and then. I don’t stop, however.

I speed up after she came, ultimate pleasure comes after cumming.

Her face is in pure ecstasy, her eyes are fully white as her pupils are rolled up. I go into overdrive and sex her faster. She moans even louder, which makes me start to feel like cumming.

I now employ something I just figured out. Using my muscles like I did with swimming I give myself short bursts of speed, pounding her and getting myself closer to an orgasm. With the feeling already at its peak, I shout out, “I’M CUMMING PANARA, TAKE IT.” With a final massive burst of speed, I penetrate her womb and spray her insides with my seed.

I pump so much into her; my sperm flows out of her vagina and floats away in the current.

Pulling out slowly and laying ourselves down on the ground, we pant together, both post-orgasms.

She curls closer and kisses me again. Then drops like a corpse and starts snoring.

With a smile on my face, I murmur. “You bloody loon, pumpkin.”
